A lot of us have been around the bend more than a few times—hey, many of us old farts, it is what it is—and so, through our lives we've all probably had our share of cars in the driveway, and it got me to thinking, it might be fun...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (123738) • Marion, Ohio 18 Oct

They both looked extremely happy. At least when my stepdaughter wasn't looking very nervous. She is a very shy person. Always has been. It was a beautiful ceremony in a lovely setting. And the weather was perfect. The rest of...

The Horse @TheHorse (231519) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Oct

I read that there are supposed to be a bunch of "No Kings" rallies today. For me it has been just another work day. One of my students (a male teen) and I actually improvised on a riff from Metallica's song "One." It was a fun...

The shredding truck was on the same street as the cemetery; so cousin #2 loaded up my rollator; and we went to see the new gravestone. Being there hit me really hard and has ruined my weekend. Man, I still miss my husband so...

I have a cunning plan!

Fleur @Fleura (32908) • United Kingdom 18 Oct

After hearing about other people’s experience at the ‘slow session’, I wanted to try it and see if it really was as bad as it seemed, so a couple of weeks ago I plucked up my courage, packed my recorder and set off. They say on...

Metal-working talent on display

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364361) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Oct

While at the Nungarin markets, we spoke to several of the stall-holders. We were impressed with the work of this guy. His ‘real job’ is as a train driver but his hobby is welding and creating unusual objects. The female figures...

When someone offends your friend, does that result in them offending you too?

Amber @AmbiePam (104423) • United States 10h

I have wondered about this, and I guess people differ greatly. If someone does something seriously wrong to your friend, and they don’t apologize, but revel in it, do you cut them off? Say you both know them, but you’re not nearly...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364361) • Rockingham, Australia 17h

I haven’t written much about our visit to Mangowine Homestead mainly because there is such a lot to say about it. When Jane Swain Adams and her husband, Charles, first established a farm at Mangowine near Nungarin in 1875, she...

I have had these prickly pear cactus in pots. But it was getting very hard to carry them in and out of the house even with them staked up. I finally had the idea to put them in a tote. Now I can tilt it and drag. I am going to...
